Chicago Heat Wave Safety Guide

Chicago’s Pride Parade this Sunday comes with a serious heat warning—temperatures in the high 80s with humidity pushing the heat index into the 90s and possibly hitting 100. Organizers are urging attendees to hydrate, seek shade, and use cooling buses, while police will ride in air-conditioned vehicles. But the danger doesn’t end after the parade: a prolonged heat wave could bring temperatures into the mid-90s with heat indexes over 100. Doctors stress the risks for seniors, kids, and those with chronic conditions, urging water over sugary drinks, closed blinds, and awareness of heat exhaustion symptoms. Never leave kids in hot cars—even briefly. Chicago’s cooling centers, welfare checks via 311, and an interactive city map offer lifesaving resources. Stay cool, stay safe.
